They contained antioxidants called anthocyanins, which are the compounds that give them the blue color. These anthocyanins help regulate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory systems in our bodies.

Now, a study in China suggests that anthocyanins may also have heart health benefits. Blueberries are fast becoming champions when it comes to their antioxidant and cancer preventing properties. Combine them with chia seeds and you have a potent recipe!

So step in and make your own raw blueberry jam, you will control the ingredients and know it is not packed with artificial sweeteners that are bad for you.

Honey definitely gives jam a very “honey-ey” flavor. And as this does not have the correct acid/sugar balance in it to be safe at room temperature, make sure you only make a small amount, and eat it quickly even if it is refrigerated.

Thanks Mary,
This is a raw jam and the blueberry flavor off sets the honey taste. This is to be refrigerated or frozen only and it is not an internet recipe, but one we make ourselves. Try it and you will love it. It keeps one week refrigerated and 6 months frozen. Thanks for visiting 🙂
